Vision Statement:

A ministry that communicates, empowers, and reinforces the Biblical teachings of marriage.

Mission Statement:

A ministry that effectively and proficiently teaches the Word of God, as it relates to marriage, to the following target audience: singles with the desire to be married; couples who are considering marriage; engaged, newlywed, and married couples. We will achieve our mission through the use of Bible training classes, ministry events, ministry website, social media, and other out-of-the-box ideas to:

• establish the presence of Jesus Christ as the continual foundation for marriage success

• terminate any strongholds that can potentially destroy the covenant of marriage

• strengthen couples in financial management to help them to live kingdom-fulfilled lives

• constantly communicate and adhere to the needs of all couples within The Sanctuary

Scriptural Foundation:

“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” Psalm 127:1 (NIV)
